Italian national champion Filippo Ganna blasted across the cobbles in Mons to win the 32.7km individual time trial on stage 4 of the Tour de Wallonie. Teammates Josh Tarling and Connor Swift finished second and third, respectively, to make it a team sweep for Ineos Grenadiers.

Stage 3 winner and GC leader Timo Kielich (Alpecin-Deceuninck) saw the clock tick off 3:19 more than Ganna and he handed over the GC lead to Ganna, who celebrated his 27th birthday with the leader's jersey. With one stage remaining, Tarling is now second overall, 18 seconds back, and Swift is 40 seconds back in third. Kielich moved out of the top 10.
